Syracuse basketball to wear ‘Pearl’ warm up shirts vs. Notre Dame

This week, Syracuse fans began raising money for former Orange hoops star Pearl Washington, who is suffering from a brain tumor. Washington needs extensive, nearly constant medical care, and there is a website where folks can help Washington’s cause.

Joe Boozell has been a college basketball writer for NCAA.com since 2015. His work has also appeared in Bleacher Report, FOXSports.com and NBA.com. Joe’s claim to fame since joining NCAA.com: he’s predicted the correct national championship game twice… and picked the wrong winner both times. Growing up, Joe squared off against both Anthony Davis and Frank Kaminsky in the Chicagoland basketball scene. You can imagine how that went.
